My Anniversary 1S Hikaru was a pain in the ass to get out of battroid, the crotch system would not let go of the swing bar, besides that one the rest of my V2s are a joy to transform.

The order is going in couple days before the deadline. The website hasn't announced the deadline yet.

I was told each account can't place multiple orders of the same item. Only 1 shot per account but the order can include multiple units.

She's done this before for those armor sets or what not, so I trust her judgement.

So the plan is to collect as many group buyers as possible and order it in one shot.

Damn I didnt know you couldn't do multiple, I made an order for some friends and I, and I was thinking of placing another order because I want more stands but now I guess Im stuck with what I ordered.

Cool, anyone know if they still come with poster?

They still have the pic of the poster so I am assuming so.

Yeah I really think that what it is on mine.

You plan on fixing it or it'll stay in battroid

So the paint chip on my 27 had me really bummed, since I saw that paint chip i threw it in the box and off to the closet it went. I cant stand looking at the damn chip, it was small but it was obvious. So it was either send it back to AmiAmi or fix it. I decided to try it out and go for the fix. I knew that it wasnt going to be a 100% match but if I got it close enough new life would breathe into this valk, yes it was a tiny chip but im anal about it.

So I needed a lilac (thats what Graham called it) color, from my gundam building days I knew that in order to get that color I had mix some colors but not the obvious white and purple. I started out with wine red and white which gave me pink, duh. I added a little sky blue to the mix and the light purple started coming up. After that it was just a matter of lightening tit with some white until I got lilac or close to it.

Now you see it!!

Now you 90% dont

Yeah I started transforming them and posing them side by side and all I could say to myself why couldn't the 25's have been like this? It's a much better toy/collectible...... it's just to bad they dropped the ball on the paint again! Is it me or is the paint job on these actually worse than on the 25s or does it just stand out worse because of the colors used?

I'd buy the green if it came out (as a non-web exclusive) but it would have to have a more resilient paint job. I love posing my toys and it frustrates me how much I am scratching the VF-27 up. If I gave this to a kid I imagine it would be an ungodly mess of scratches and chips in a couple of weeks.

I fell victim to the paint chip... FUDGE!!!! Im gonna take the mixture of this lilac color from the 1/72 manual and try to match it to just dab it on there. It could've been worse, anyone have any idea on how to get the nose cone off in case i need to repaint the whole thing.

I need a Ghost B Booster for my 0A, I would prefer the single release in box. If anyone has one pm me.

OK so has anyone personally pre-ordered from Bandai site for the Tamashii exclusive items before?? I just did, for my grace and some other items, and its my first time ordering through them. If you pay by credit card, do they actually charge now because im seeing the charge on my account already and I am hoping that they are just authorizing the transaction.

Repaints already?

Bah the red sucks, i wants the black one That red one will probably be mass marketed

Can he get like, a dozen for other MW'ers?

As long as tamashii web doesnt put a limit on orders it should be fine, I would be the one paying for them, he will just get them and ship them out.

I have a friend in Japan and we can use him to get the green 27, you would have to throw a few bucks his way, i'd say around 1200 yen for him receiving it and then walking it to the PO. Thats how I intend on getting my CF 27

Got mine today WOOT!!!!

im definitely buying the 0S, I missed out the last time.

OK, maybe I made it sound too dramatic. I meant there is no evidence there is a stand for it (as Graham said but with more material evidence) and that nobody seems to care (because the model/toy is great and the lack of a stand will not be a deal breaker).

I would certainly like a new sleeker stand, not the standard SMS one, on one side as Graham said Brera was not part of the SMS, and in the real world, that bulky thickish stand would defeat the purpose of "sleekness inflight" displaying.

not only sleeker but that it fits the other VF-25's, current stand stinks

Long time overdue but I need to give credit where it's due:

MacrossMan - for 3 Yamato display stands

Sil80jdm - for a Yamato display stand

Emerson - DX Chogokin VF-25F

Soundbear - TV Super parts

Dafunguy - Minmay figure

I have a MG God gundam is that what you are looking for?

great news sinh, thanks

Hello,

After reading this thread for a long time, I finally broke down and decided to order the Bandai 1/60 VF-25. I have all of the 1/100 releases to include the event only, but I don't really care for "parts formers", although 1/100 scale is better with regard to display space.

I just received my HLJ shipping notice:

I'll post some pictures/feedback, and I really hope I made the right choice. The VF-27 looks awesome, and I placed my pre-order with HLJ the same day they started to accept orders.

Sincerely,

Christopher

by the beard of christ !!! What a haul, next time though I suggest shopping around a little bit so that you can save some cash. HLJ sold u most of that stuff at MSRP.

effect parts look awesome!!! sadly I have to wait for mine to reach my friend in Japan and then he has to ship them to me.

mine shipped out yesterday

me wants the dark bunny... but everyone is going to want that one so the price is shoot out the roof

VF-25S Armormed and VF-25G shipped today!! Hopefully it doesnt go through the same debacle as macross quarter which took 2 weeks + to get to me with EMS.

May be u can use a hair dryer to heat and reform the bent gun....

I just did that and it worked wonders, they are completely straight now. Thanks!!!

Bought a 1/60 V2 VF-1D that didn't include the gunpod. If anyone has a gunpod from a V2 1/60 valk that they dont want shoot me a pm with a price shipped to Bowie MD 20716.

Got mine a few days ago, anybody have problems with the waist joint? Mine was super, SUPER tight... It was a big pain in the ass to transform back and forth. Also one of my cannons was pretty bent, besides that I love this toy.
